Runaway mouse!!!
Not sure where else to ask for help on this issue. Ever since the last update from Steam a couple days ago, anytime I start up one of my games my mouse cursor moves up and to the left of the screen on its own. I have to exit the game for my mouse cursor to return to normal. I was hoping that this last update that Steam released a few minutes ago would solve the issue, but it hasn't. Any suggestions on this, and has this happened to anyone else?

Where are you guys getting all these updates?

That's odd...could it be something with the controller/mouse Steam config? Do you have a controller connected? The easiest way to check is to completely disconnect the controller or take a look at your controller/mouse config settings are in big picture mode.

Thank you for your suggestions, Bee. I will have to try things out in big picture mode and check the configurations. Usually, I don't ever play in this mode. I do have a controller connected. Someone suggested that I update/reinstall the driver to see if that works.

**UPDATE**

--For future reference if this happens to anyone--

I made sure everything was up-to-date and still the problem persisted, so this was not the problem. I opened up one of my games and watched the mouse cursor start to move again on its own. I decided to unplug my two game controllers from the USB ports on my computer and the mouse cursor stopped moving! Something happened with the last update that changed something in my controller configurations. I will be uninstalling/reinstalling to see if this fixes it, but at least unplugging the controllers will fix the issue. Thank you, Bee for your help!

I confirm as well I have the same problem sadly.
A quick solution I found was to activate my InputMapper I have in my PC and this stopped the 'ghost' movements of my mouse.
Obviously if there is a better solution I am all ears.
